: My wordpress site blacklisted as malware by Google Two years ago I've built a small Wordpress site for a friend of mine, and some weeks ago I got a warning mail from my ISP, about a worldwide

Probably there is also some security issue with the Wordpress setup, being it two years old maybe it's time to apply security patches.
if you don't want (or can't) rebuild the server from scratch, I sould suggest to:


check the date/time of creation of the file images.php as this is probably when the whole site got corrupted
find all .php files created/modified that day at that time
restore/delete all those files
browse your site with malware detection antivirus (kaspersky has good engine for trojans)
if virus/trojan is detected find the virus signature: really not that difficult, since they're usually javascript based, so with Firebug you can track them easily
check for that signature in filesystem and database
delete/restore records/files affected by that virus


If you have got a linux server the thing seems more difficult than it actually is, done this work lately, and a whole Wordpress site was cleaned in a couple of hours.

If you can't access to some files or folders, I would recommend you to change the file permissions.

When your site is blacklisted/removed from search results, Google recommends webmasters to take their site down as soon as possible, to contact their web hoster and then to change all passwords for all users and all accounts. support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=163634
The last step is to ask Google to review your site:


On the Webmaster Tools Home page
Select the site you want.
Click Health, and then click Malware.
